Nvidia xconfig Undefined Device "Device0" referenced by Screen "Screen

ytsejam · 2017-12-30 14:21:33

Hello ,
I use Lenovo Z510 i5 laptop with two graphics cards :

0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
07:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev a1)

When I try to config nvidia card using "nvidia-xonfig" I get error

Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".

VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
                  Undefined Device "Device0" referenced by Screen "Screen0".

Why do you have an xorg.conf?

Get rid of it and try again.
